Everyone is entitled to their opinion, theory or speculation. (even though expressing a differing opinion almost causes more drama then its worth in trying to have a discussion). I don't get hung up on non-football stuff because I don't think it even remotely reliable. Every once in awhile I listen to the local media/radio and I remember how little football they actually know and discuss. So I understand a lot of the frustration, dislike that many fans have towards Griffin. But, I guarantee he was the same guy in 2012 and the same guy at Baylor. My focus in on the field.
However; I agree that clearly Griffin played a key role in his circumstances here. But at the end of the day he's a player the onus falls on the organization to make it work. IF Griffin is a "difficult" personality to manage, which might be true, I'm certain he's not the first. And in my previous statement I was taking the grand view, the big picture or simplistic view....Washington drafted one of the best QB prospects I have every seen. The biggest question that surrounds any prospect was answered in year 1...can he play at a high level? Yes. The debacle of management that ensued imho is more on the organization then the player.
I don't believe the current result was inevitable. I think bad decisions were made along the way that have brought us here. Imho if we chose a different HC last year we wouldn't be here now.
But that's a different discussion for a different time.
Right now, J has to coach better to help his chosen QB and our team have more success and win this game.
